Figure 1

Effect of porcine relaxin (pRLN) and follicular fluid (pFF) on RXFP1 and RXFP2 gene expression in in vitro matured oocyte porcine. Figures represent real-time PCR results of RXFP1 and RXFP2 gene expression in oocytes matured in teh presence of 0 or 40 ng/ml pRLN (A), and 0 or 10% (v/v) pFF (B). Data are relative expression to their corresponding internal control, β-actin; and are shown as mean ± SD of at least three independent replications. Letters (a,b) represent significant differences between immature oocytes and cumulus for both genes, while asterisks (*) indicate significant differences between treated groups and their corresponding controls within the same gene (P < 0.05, ANOVA). Immature oocyte and cumulus cells are labelled as GV and ICC, while those that are matured in the presence of pRLN are indicated as MII-40 and MCC-40, or MII-pFF and MCC-pFF for those matured in the presence of pFF.
